So I'm getting throttle happy to remove the lock on my tune, and remap...
starting to think I might leave the turbo upgrades for now
And upgrade my dump pipe (which has been mentioned by a few tuners)
Plus intercooler, Silicone hoses, 3 port
And then a Retune and see how I go with that
And then start thinking about turbo upgrades

Jolly good show, old chap :)
Fast progress in the right direction and some spare $$$ in your pocket is a very good thing.
Consider a btssm as a convenient way to keep it logged and monitored :)

I don't know how I even drove the car before this?
matt was just there laughing at how excited I was getting over the whole thing haha

One day if I get bored or have some spare money floating around (haha unlikely) I would like to swap out the nav for a tablet, so that would be on the cards for then :)

Okay, so as it stands now

The list:
VF52
Mishimoto intercooler and hose
dump pipe*
Pierberg 3 port
PSR Silicone inlet and maf hoses

*Can anyone offer information on invidia vs xforce vs phatGT?

invidia is looking good, because it's stainless like the rest of my system, and easy enough to source (and lifetime warranty), but everyone raves about phatGTs dump pipe which is about $100 more than the stainless invidia
Willing to spend it if it's worth it

Edit: invidia 100cell $799 delivered
PhatGT $880 + $30 + $50 for 100 cell

So is 100 cell worth it?
Because I'll get a cel for it apparently

From what I've read, they all the same. You'll just get more wristy points from the club.lib boys if you have a PhatGT dump. TCP Auto also do dumps that are equally as good.

Wristy points

In that case I'll probably stick with the invidia, I'll be able to get it all from prospeedracing and at pretty good price
Win win

Was planning on driving to coffs for the tune... so that'll be a fun drive in 'intellegent' with no cruise control... haha

so, had a new ACTUAL exedy heavy duty clutch, new seals and gearbox oil so a little bit of peace of mind now :)
